After reading Dallman's post I was going to say it's the same as

I wouldn't say it was a "syntax" problem, but yes, I remembered about
procmail's heuristic for when to avoid running an intermediate shell
process a few minutes after I'd logged out of gmail, and only just now
logged back in to make a correction. Thanks for making it for me.
I sometimes think that heuristic has outlived its usefulness.
Starting an extra shell process isn't as much of a burden on modern
OSs and hardware as it used to be, and modern shells have a lot more
builtin commands that it would be reasonable to expect to work without
having to resort to the muttering of magikal incantations.
